On behalf of all the staff members, I would like to welcome everyone to Southside Elementary School. It is a privilege to serve as principal of Southside. Our school has an outstanding reputation, and I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful program. Southside is filled with enthusiastic students willing to learn, supportive parents and guardians interested in their children‘s education, and a dedicated, professional staff committed to providing the students with a quality education.

I would like to encourage each parent and guardian to stay active in your child‘s education. I certainly realize that many of you lead busy lives, and it is often difficult to volunteer at school. However, taking just a few minutes in the evening to read to your child, talk with your child about school, or simply see that your child is organized for the next school day can have great benefits.

We have an exciting school year planned for 2017/2018. We have high expectations for our students and are prepared to provide them the tools and knowledge they need to be successful.
